This recipe is incredibly easy. I always forget how easy, until I come to cook it again and think "is that it?!"
I've made this recipe lots of times now, and I don't change a thing, it has just the right amount of chilli and ginger for me. I use soya beans, as that's what's available at my supermarket. I'd never had them before, and they're very nice, not dry like broad beans.

As per previous comments I doubled the ginger & chilli & also added garlic. Also added 2 tsp of garam masala and used a mixture of broad beans and peas. Overall result was very tasty. Nice flavours, quick and easy, will definitely do again.

Tasty lunch for 2 adults and two under fives. added frozen spinach with the endame (soya) beans and started with some ready prepared sofrito as well as onion, Very tasty - would up the chilli ginger etc for adults only.

This has become a firm favourite in our house! Quick, healthy and delicious. I use a mixture of chicken thighs and prawns, double the amount of ginger, add some garlic and use frozen peas as haven't managed to fine edamame beans. Highly recommend as a mid-week meal.

It was edible. But I found it rather bland and lacking in much taste. Disappointing.

This really was incredibly bland. I added extra ginger, garlic, chilli & lime, but still an incredibly boring dish. We're trying to lose weight after the xmas excesses, but this just left us desperate for flavour.

Lovely quick mid week meal that is tasty and filling. Made it with brown rices and didn't take much longer than stated time.
